Review:The first few paragraphs I could not understand why the Division of the person who was speaking. Then two main characters joined forces. At that point it made some sense. Then it got even better. Then it. Got Amazing.

Review:The author provides a vivid and sometimes graphic first person description of the battles in which he participated. His narrative immerses the reader in not only the facts, but the sights, sounds and smells of battle to provide a very visceral account of the action. Read more

Review:This book encapsulated the nature of the American effort in Afghanistan in the story of COP Keating. It was written at the soldier level and demonstrated both the flaws and the strength of American strategy tactics in a remote area of that country. More importantly, it made clear the valor and determination of soldiers in a remore outpost over a span of several years.

Review:When I started reading this book, I thought it was going to be just another theory of who kill JFK. It is so much more than that.

Review:I got an eGalley of this book through NetGalley to review. This book was an interesting read that followed up the events that took place in the Rolling in the Deep novella. It got a bit long at times but overall I enjoyed it.
This is definitely one of those slow-boiling horror types of novels with a heavy paranormal bent to it. The whole time you know things are going to go very poorly for the characters on the next mission. I liked the suspense but was a bit disappointed that the sto... Read more

Review:Well-written and researched. Truly inspirational story about the everyday heroes found on the small island of Crete. Like Chris' other book Born To Run, the story-telling is spellbinding and facts behind natural fitness are revealing. Another tour de force! Read more
